First Imprint Sam's Story.

Chapter 37: Epilogue

Chapter 37 - Epilogue

Sam's POV

I sat in the rocking chair, cradling my son carefully in my arms. He seemed so tiny to me although I was told he was large for a one-month-old. He was perfect. He had Emily's crow-black hair and almond shaped eyes. But I saw traces of myself in his lips, nose, and jaw line.

He was incredible, my Nathaniel Harrison Uley. Finding out that Emily was pregnant one month after our honeymoon had been surprising. As we didn't have room in our house for a baby, we ended up buying a larger home right down the road from our other place. It was a stressful time, but it was exciting too. Luckily, we didn't have any major pack issues or swarms of vampires coming to the area, so I was able to be there for Emily every step of the pregnancy. Not that I would have left her side anyway. When she went into labor I was with her, holding her hand the entire time.

Emily handled her labor with her typical grace. I was the one who had been a mess. When she cried out in pain, I yelled and called the hospital staff idiots. When Emily finally gave birth to our son, I almost passed out. But everything went smooth and at the end, Emily smiled tiredly at me while cradling our baby and said in complete awe, "look at our son." I had bent down and held them both close, feeling like the luckiest person in the world.

Nathaniel burped loudly and I looked down at him. It was about 6 am and I had just changed and fed him. As I really didn't want to put him down yet, I decided to tell him a story instead.

"Nathaniel, I'm going to tell you a very important story. It's about the first imprint of the new Quileute wolves. There was once a man named Sam. Sam was very surprised to learn that he had magic in his blood. This magic turned him into a wolf whenever he lost his temper which happened a lot...son, if you ever develop my temper I'm going to have teach you how to control it. But seeing as both your grandmothers' have claimed you're the calmest baby they've ever met, I hope that you've inherited your mother's temperament instead," I whispered to him before continuing with my story.

"Anyway, one day, the wolf met a beautiful princess named Emily and he fell in love with her immediately. At first the princess didn't want anything to do with the wolf. But the wolf was very handsome and charming and he eventually wore her down," I told my son who was staring at me with rapt attention. I heard Emily snort in the hallway right before she entered the room. She leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms over her chest, before raising one eyebrow. I chuckled softly.

"Then the wolf went off and fought many battles and the princess heard tales of how brave he was. The princess thought he was amazing. She also thought he was great in bed."

"Don't tell him that," Emily gasped.

I laughed before continuing. "And the princess realized how much she loved the wolf and agreed to marry him. They had a beautiful wedding right on top of the cliffs and they even invited Jacob Black, who's a pain in the butt, but Sam knew how much it would mean to the princess to invite everyone she cared about."

"Real nice story Sam." Emily rolled her eyes, before walking over and kneeling down in front of us. She leaned over and kissed Nathaniel on the head. Nathaniel cooed in response before turning to look at me expectantly. I smiled in return, running my finger against his soft cheek.

"And someone at the wedding asked Sam about imprinting and asked him if he had a choice." I looked at Emily and leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips.

"And what did Sam say?" Emily whispered, pulling back slightly, love shining in her eyes.

"I told the person, no, I had a gift."

The End

A/N - I hope you enjoyed the story. I originally planned on ending the story with the wedding day, but then again I also had only planned on the story being 12 chapters long and never planned on writing Sam's POV for Eclipse or Breaking Dawn. But when reviews came in asking about the Newborn War, I decided to write everything.

One of the very first people to respond to my story, Mediate89, asked me if we would see Emily and Sam as parents. Then a couple other readers asked for it as well, so I decided to add this ending. Its pure fluff, but I really like how it turned out. I hope this gives you an idea of the fun, loving parents I can imagine Sam and Emily will be.

Thank you again to everyone who supported me and this story. It was my first attempt at writing fan fiction and I really appreciated all the wonderful feedback I received.

I have an idea for a spin-off and I already wrote the first chapter. Some people asked me if I could write a Claire/Quil fan fic. I wasn't going to at first because there are a lot of quality Quil/Claire fics already. But I really love the version of Quil and Claire that I created in First Imprint. So I'm going to give you an excerpt of what I wrote. This story will be a direct spin-off to "First Imprint." You'll get to watch Claire grow up and you will also still see quite a bit of Sam and Emily. As this is a spin-off, the opening chapter is from "First Imprint's" "So That Happened" chapter. Here's the preview:

Early Imprint (Quil's Story) - Excerpt

Quil's POV

When I woke up that day, I never expected anything out of the ordinary to happen. I thought it would be just your average day of turning into a wolf to hunt some vampires. You know, your typical day at the office.

I had just joined the pack a month before. The weeks leading up to that life changing moment had been dismal as my two best friends suddenly dropped me and wouldn't have anything to do with me. It wasn't until I became a wolf myself that I realized that Jacob and Embry had actually been trying to protect me by staying away.

We were meeting at our Alpha leader Sam's house for lunch before patrolling. A bloodsucker had been hunting in the area and we were having trouble getting her. We had nicknamed her the elusive vampire.

Jacob, Embry, and I had walked into Sam's house to find Emily in the kitchen preparing lunch. We offered to help, but she preferred people to stay out of her way when she was cooking and told us the only thing she wanted was some help carrying the food into the living room. Embry offered to help with that chore, which was fine by me.

As soon as I had gotten onto the property, I had felt an anxious urge to get into the living room of the home. It was kind of baffling really, because it was just another meeting before hunting for the leech. No reason to have this strange pulling feeling. I felt as though it had become essential to my life to get into that room.

"Jacob, Quil, these are my nieces, Cora and Claire," I heard Sam say as we walked into the living room.

I saw a little girl sitting on Leah's lap and I smiled in her direction as she half-heartedly waved back. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little figure move from behind Sam's legs where she had been hiding and saw her walk in my direction.

A girl of no more than two-years-old walked to the middle of the living room and looked at me with her hand raised for me to shake it. She had light brown hair that reached her shoulders and a smile that showed she still had some teeth that hadn't grown in yet. But it was when I looked into her dark brown eyes that everything changed.

A/N -That's just a part of the first chapter. "Early Imprint" which I am going to post soon. I hope you get a chance to check it out.

Thanks again for all your support with Sam's Story. Even though this story is now complete, I still love getting feedback for it. Please leave a comment.
